One of the sources of information about Old Polish legations to Turkey are accounts written down by legation members. Such reports from diplomatic missions were mandatory. The paper seeks to analyze the communication strategies of the authors of the reports from the Polish missions to Turkey in the 18th century. The research material are two descriptions of legations: one by Stanisław Chomentowski from 1712–1714 and the other by Józef Podoski from 1759–1760. The article examines the methods of describing formal communication as part of the diplomatic ceremony (according to the methodology of Eric W. Rothenbuler). The subject of the research will be descriptions of meetings with Turkish dignitaries and contacts with diplomats from other countries. The way of describing successes, difficulties and failures in negotiations will be presented and the information recorded in the description will be confronted with historiographic opinions.
